I have some cuttings I took from a buch of carnations my daughter bought me ( a la GH ). 2 of them are now about 1foot high and have buds waiting to open, the others are also doing well. Should I keep them in pots over winter or is it safe to plant them out?  |

Well the ground is still quite warm, so they should be able to put on some root growth before the winter |

Whilst tidying up in the garden today I came across 2 pots that I'd had Carnations in over the summer, I'd put them under a bench at the top of the garden out of the way till I had time to sort them out, as you do  Well.....they have lovely green growth on them, about 4" long. I'm going to try and get them going as cuttings tomorrow |

Do you use rooting hormone Chuckles? |

No I always forget and just stick stuff in, I have some rooting liqiud/gel in a little bottle somewhere in the shed, but it may be a few years old now.

Well I took about 15 side shoots off the Carnations I found and have potted them up and put them in a seed tray with a lid on and lets see if they root. Suppose I could have put them in the heated prop  |
